All Chapters of The Wife's Return: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“I’m already yours.” “How true could that be?” she asked, unable to brush away the memory of him rejecting her. What he said was one of the sweetest words she had ever heard and she will have it engraved in her heart forever. But then, these sweet words are as memorable as hurtful actions. “Sometimes… I feel like you are, and then the next day, you aren’t anymore.” Her voice was barely audible, but with Nikolai’s face so close to her, he heard every word that she said. “I can feel it, Nikolai. You are haunted by the past that I know, but couldn’t remember.” “I’m ready to put the past behind and move on. I’ve moved on.” “Maybe this is a good thing that you’re here.” Belle pointed at the extra chair in front of the vanity mirror. “We can’t have this conversation over and over again. I need clear lines.” Slightly distracted from the glimpse of Nikolai’s chest from the unbuttoned part of his shirt

Nikolai opened his mouth but before he could say a word, she stopped him by covering his lips with hers.“Don't say a word,” Belle pleaded. She could already feel him hardening while he was still inside her. “If you want to tell me something, don't say it yet. Let's not ruin this moment.”She has no idea what his response could be. To be honest, she'd rather not have a clue. If he tells her she loves him, she would end up not believing him. If he tells her otherwise, it would only hurt him. There was no need to rush things. Her confession was not even a question that needs an answer. It felt like the right moment to say it, and so she did with no expectations.Nikolai must have gotten the clue. Switching their positions with him kneeling in front of her, he spread her leg wide as she obliged.“I'm yours, Isobelle.” He entered her slowly. He looked at his hardness slowly disappearing as he buried himself inside of her. “All yours.”

Now that Jessica mentioned about Nikolai’s father, it has dawned on him that she has never seen that man before. He knew about him, but even at the party, he has never shown his face.Oliver Laurent. Aside from his name and the openly known fact that he owns an empire of business, specifically in Aeronotics and Energy, there was little to know about him.“What-”“Don’t ask questions about him or even try to know. He’s a very private man and he would much prefer to remain to be that way,” Jessica warned her. “Just trust me, Belle. And don’t worry. I won’t be coming with you to work. I’ll stay in a close distance, but far enough so I wouldn’t be seen. I just have to see your co-worker’s faces… for security purpose.”No one poses a threat in her current workplace. She has seen and talked to everyone. Well, there’s Leo who, compared to everyone, has the most potential to be a villain. Even he doesn’t seem to be that dangerous.Or is he? He’s not so sure anymore.As expected, she was early

Belle wanted to be rational about this. To determine what was the right thing to do and find the courage to do it. Like those steps found in self-help books on how to be the better person for every situation.However, that was easier said than done. Right at that moment, when her head was filled with judgment, the truth almost didn't matter. She will believe what she would like to believe. Her emotions were all over the place. She felt disgusted and to know that this was out of her control made her even more frustrated.Her eyes started to water and the only thing that was stopping her from breaking down was knowing that Leo was standing near her.“Disappointed, but not surprised.” He muttered to himself, but it was obvious he wanted Belle to hear it, too.Belle couldn’t take it anymore. “Can’t you keep your opinions to yourself? Even for a second?” She asked, visibly hurting.Nikolai wouldn’t cheat on her. He promised he would never. Sti

It was overwhelming.She could barely hold the phone. Hell, it was even hard to find enough strength to stand up. Even at her weakest, she wished she had enough strength to land a slap on Nikolai's cheek to save a teeny-tiny bit of self-worth.And yet, she couldn't. Belle stood frozen, still hoping Nikolai could come up with some shit of an excuse that would explain everything. Like she would always do.“If you would tell me it isn't true, I will believe you.” She pleaded, not giving a fuck about how desperate it may sound. “So, tell me, Nikolai. Tell me this didn't happen.”“There's nothing going on between me and Evelyn.” He finally said something. Though it wasn't exactly what she wanted to hear.“Tell me you didn't fuck her.”Both Nikolai and Leo seemed taken aback by her straightforwardness. Nothing else matters right now. All she wants is the truth, not a sugar-coated lie.“No. I can explain this, Isobelle.”“Okay. I will be an idiot trying to listen to you. Go.”“I have no idea
